...leadership, as long as you rise in seniority and bring home the bacon. He has parsed his votes so carefully that the neutral National Journal rates him a moderate, making it hard for Hillary to morph him into Tom DeLay. In fact, last week she edged her position on partial-birth abortion closer to Lazio...
...John Deere or the Boston Red Sox. At least Autowraps drivers get paid. "I'm making the choice to do with my car as I please," says flight attendant Billy Dulin, 33, as we tool around San Francisco in his Volkswagen Beetle. Dulin pockets $250 a month for a partial wrap pitching Lowestpremium.com car insurance...
...hundred and seventy-nine refrigerators. One hundred and twenty-five jugs of pesticide. Four motorcycles. Three hundred propane tanks. Two Jacuzzis. Seven lawn mowers. One prosthetic leg. And it goes on--a partial inventory of the debris that Chad Pregracke, 25, has hauled from the depths of the muddy Mississippi in a lonesome crusade to Roto-Root the river all the way from St. Louis to Dubuque.

After waking each morning...

Most people don't vote for President with the Supremes in mind, but consider this: on Wednesday the court split 5-to-4 on a crucial vote, striking down a Nebraska law that bans partial-birth abortions (and almost surely taking out similar laws in 30 other states).

Kennedy, usually counted among the six, dissented last week because, like many Americans, he finds the partial-birth method particularly abhorrent. Assuming Kennedy settles back into the pro-choice camp, if Stevens and O'Connor step down during a Bush presidency and are replaced by pro-life Justices, the 6-to-3 majority in favor of choice would become a 5-to-4 majority in favor...
